NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION


Request for Recommendations for Membership on Directorate and 
Office Advisory Committees

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Science Foundation (NSF) requests recommendations 
for membership on its scientific and technical Federal advisory 
committees. Recommendations should consist of the name of the 
submitting individual, the organization or the affiliation providing 
the member nomination, the name of the recommended individual, the 
recommended individual's curriculum vita, an expression of the 
individual's interest in serving, and the following recommended 
individual's contact information: employment address, telephone number, 
FAX number, and email address. Self-recommendations are accepted. If 
you would like to make a membership recommendation for any of the NSF 
scientific and technical Federal advisory committees, please send your 
recommendation to the appropriate committee contact person listed in 
the chart below.

ADDRESSES: The mailing address for the National Science Foundation is 
4201 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22230.
    Web links to individual committee information may be found on the 
NSF Web site: NSF Advisory Committees.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each Directorate and Office has an external 
advisory committee that typically meets twice a year to review and 
provide advice on program management; discuss

[[Page 16860]]

current issues; and review and provide advice on the impact of 
policies, programs, and activities in the disciplines and fields 
encompassed by the Directorate or Office. In addition to Directorate 
and Office advisory committees, NSF has several committees that provide 
advice and recommendations on specific topics including: Astronomy and 
astrophysics; environmental research and education; equal opportunities 
in science and engineering; cyberinfrastructure; international science 
and engineering; and business and operations.
    A primary consideration when formulating committee membership is 
recognized knowledge, expertise, or demonstrated ability.\1\ Other 
factors that may be considered are balance among diverse institutions, 
regions, and groups underrepresented in science, technology, 
engineering, and mathematics. Committee members serve for varying term 
lengths, depending on the nature of the individual committee. Although 
we welcome the recommendations we receive, we regret that NSF will not 
be able to acknowledge or respond positively to each person who 
contacts NSF or has been recommended. NSF intends to publish a similar 
notice to this on an annual basis. NSF will keep recommendations active 
for 12 months from the date of receipt.

    \1\ Federally registered lobbyists are not eligible for 
appointment to these Federal advisory committees.
